Full Body Mobility Basics - 2

This is a progression of Full Body Mobility Basics. It tackles hip and hamstring mobility along with with torso and shoulder mobility with three days of each to comprise the 6 sessions of each week. Ideally you will have completed that program at least once before continuing on to this program. However, I understand that the internet does not always have patience. If you feel you are more advanced and are prepared for the level 2, then proceed with care and attention to detail. Learn the exercises and build strength in your range and training volume before pushing too hard to extend into new (weak range). The gains will come. Be patient.

You could easily repeat this program again with the increased knowledge from performing the exercises many times and make gains for 2-3 cycles.

Hips and Hamstrings
Opening your hips and hamstrings takes work and this program gives you the opportunity to do just that. More advanced drills compared to Full Body Mobility Basics - 1 allow you to challenge yourself and build strength in new ranges that will open up movement capacity that was impossible before.

Spinal Extension and Shoulder Mobility
The spine is the center of your body and if it is stiff, then everything will pay a price. Creating motion in the spine and torso will allow the shoulders to move more freely and for your body to sit more comfortably on top of your legs. The combined effect is better movement overall with less restriction and greater capacity.

I want you to have the most mobile and capable body possible. My programs contain practical methods proven to be successful through both my own training as well as my clients. The most important factor I can stress when training mobility is to make it a lifestyle. Mobility hacks either won't last, or will get your hurt trying to rush the process. Take your time and let the gains develop slowly.
